Founding Full-Stack Engineer (Frontend-Focused)

About Ironflow AI


We are building the world’s first AI-native ERP for defense tech — a system that thinks, reasons, and acts alongside the people who build, protect, and defend our way of life.


We’re not patching old ideas with a flashy new user interface. We’re starting fresh — reimagining how software supports operations at the cutting edge of the defense tech revolution. Built by veterans, engineers, and operators who’ve lived the pain of legacy systems. Ironflow combines natural language, intelligent agents, and real-world rigor to empower the frontline with clarity and speed.


If you're bold, decisive, and obsessed with impact — join us. This is where curiosity meets purpose.

Why This Role Matters

Our product lives and breathes through its interface. As our founding frontend engineer, you’ll define the user experience for a system that blends structured chat, live updates, and dynamic visual components — not another grid of stale tables. You’ll bring clarity and momentum to complex workflows, helping users move faster and make better decisions at the edge of defense and manufacturing.

What You’ll Own

  • Architect and implement UI features using Next.js, React, and TailwindCSS
  • Design structured chat and journey-based interfaces that mix conversation and action
  • Build flexible dashboards, real-time tables, and intelligent form systems
  • Connect to GraphQL and build a robust data interaction layer
  • Support real-time UX: streaming updates, agent responses, and collaborative tools
  • Define and evolve the design language in close partnership with design and product
  • Optimize for performance, responsiveness, and developer velocity

What You Bring

  • 5+ years of frontend or full-stack experience in modern web applications
  • Deep fluency with React, component architecture, and TypeScript
  • Strong grasp of responsive design, TailwindCSS, and accessibility best practices
  • Experience integrating GraphQL and managing complex client-side state
  • Bonus: Exposure to structured chat, agentic interfaces, or low-code builders
  • Bonus: Experience with Python/Django for backend collaboration
  • Bonus: Familiarity with Jest, Playwright, or other testing frameworks
  • You care about polish and performance — and you love building tools that feel fast and elegant

How We Work

We move fast, own our outcomes, and build with purpose. Everyone at Ironflow is expected to lead — not just contribute — and to uphold a high bar of craft. We value initiative, clean design, and tight feedback loops between users, engineers, and AI. If you’re excited by hard problems, sharp tools, and a mission that matters, you’ll thrive here.
